Ill Jill My Body is Mine to Decide EP
Power-chord-driven queercore from Sweden with noodly bass lines and shrieking, banshee-like vocals—I wrote that last part down in my notes before I realized they have a song called “Banshee Cry” (ILL JILL is very self-aware). High-energy, oozing with the classic punk attitude. Their track “Puke” is easily the standout song on the EP and sounds a bit like a modern-age DEAD MILKMEN. The rest of the slab is a little more serious and sounds more goth punk. Quality songwriting in general; lovely vocal harmonies and great song structures with dynamic peaks and valleys that really lend themselves to the theatrical styling of the vocalist. Well worth a couple spins.
